Introduction: The objective is to evaluate the relationship between early blood pressure alterations (detected by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (abpm)) and the development of microalbuminuria and arterial hypertension in patients with type 1 diabetes clinically normotensive.Methods: We designed a prospective observational study of 85 patients, clinically normotensive and without microalbuminuria, monitored over 7 years. Abpm was performed over 24 ...

Introduction: The objective is to evaluate the relationship between precocious subclinical hypertension and inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction markers in normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with type 1 diabetes.Methods: We designed an observational transversal study of 85 patients, clinically normotensive and without microalbuminuria. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (abpm) was performed over 24 h and subclinical hypertension was conside...

Introduction: Currently, there are few data on long-term effects of bariatric surgery. We present the results of 5-year follow-up of a cohort of patients with gastric bypass surgery (GBP).Objectives: i) To determine the prevalence of major comorbidities of morbid obese; ii) to evaluate the gastric bypass effect on this comorbidities, and 10-year estimated cardiovascular risk after 5-year follow-up; and iii) to assess the impact of bariatric surgery on th...

Background: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies are the cornerstone of preoperative evaluation of thyroid nodules, but FNA diagnostic performance has varied across different studies. We conducted a study to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound guided FNA in the thyroid nodule and to review the correlation between cytopathology and histopathology.Methods: Prospective FNAs were collected from 332 patients who underwent thyroid surgery between 2008 an...

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of blood pressure alterations by ABPM and its association with clinical factors in normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with type 1 diabetes (TDM1).Methods: Cross-sectional study including normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with TDM1. Altered ABPM was considered when: i) Mean systolic pressure (sBP) was ≥130 mmHg in the 24 h and daytime periods and ≥120 mmHg in the night-time period and/or ...

Objectives: To evaluate the validity as diagnostic test of isolated blood pressure measurement compared to 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in a group of clinically normotensive patients with type 1 diabetes (TDM1).Methods: Cross-sectional study including 85 normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with TDM1. Media of two blood pressure measures by conventional technique and results of the 24 h blood pressure monitoring (SPACELABS 90217...

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of blood pressure alterations with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and its association with proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and VEGFα) in normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with type 1 diabetes (TDM1).Patients and methods: Cross-sectional study including normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with TDM1. Altered ABPM was considered when: 1) Mean systolic pressure (sBP) was greater than 13...

Objective: To evaluate changes of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) parameters in normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with type 1 diabetes (TDM1) after 7 years.Methods: A longitudinal study conducted in normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with TDM1. ABPM (Spacelabs 90217) basal was performed. Altered ABPM was considered when: i) Mean systolic pressure (sBP) was ≥130 mmHg in the 24 h and daytime periods and ≥120 mmHg in...

Justification and objectives: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension (PIH). Previous studies suggest a relationship between inflammatory markers and the development of PIH and obstetric and perinatal complications. The aim of the study was to establish the relationship between pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and the development of PIH and the impact on obstetric and perinatal outcomes.<p clas...

Introduction: Obesity is defined as a chronic disease by AACE/ACE. Includes presence/severity of complications. VLCD diets induce relevant weight loss by improving these complications. PA is a bioelectric measure of the cell mass and it is marker a global prognostic factor of cellular functionalism.Methods: Case-control retrospective study of severe obesity in a weight loss program comparing intensive intervention (41 cases, VLCD 800 kcal/d, 1g protein/k...
